Kaju makhan masala recipe - How to make cashew nut butter masala

Kaju makhan masala recipe - Kaju makhan masala is a delicious creamy dish to relish with naan, roti, phulka, chapati, jeera rice and even steamed rice. Kaju Makhan masala is a North India's Punjabi speciality. It has rich gravy of cashews, onions, tomatoes, butter and fresh cream that is flavored with spice powder and the dish is different from the usual kaju curry.

In fact, the thick gravy tastes better than the thin gravy, so while making this dish, keep the gravy consistency thick and you'll experience the creamy taste when this dish is taken into the mouth. I also make paneer and green peas makhan masala, mushroom and green peas makhan masala and mushroom and paneer makhan masala. In fact, kaju makhan masala is bit different than kaju masala. Kaju makhan masala is made by using butter and cream, whereas kaju masla doesn't contain cream or butter.

Usually, for the makhan masala, kajus are shallow fried in butter, but I have just dry roasted the cashews as I don't like to add much butter or cream in our diet. Makhan in hindi means butter. Cashews are easily storable at room temperature in all season throughout the year. This kaju makhan masala can also be made on special occasions like birthday party, kitty party, potluck party, family get together and so on.
